About us

Born in the 1960's a golden era some say,
I had a dream long ago and i built the property from that childhood idea, after coming to the area many times as a child and teenager.

You may get the chance to meet our children, but they have busy lives in University world.

We crave open, good communication, You will be treated like a member of our family.
I like honesty and openness, confidence, this builds trust, understanding and helps build lifelong friendships.

In the past few years on other platforms, we have received volunteers from Brazil, Chile, Mexico, China, USA, and Europe.


Here's where you hopefully come in !

We are looking for a trustworthy Volunteer or a Volunteer couple to help us during our at times busy working season that i am currently trying to make this as long as possible (fingers crossed)
You will have your own room, a great nights sleep in a no noise village is guaranteed, the room may be located on the first floor or in the basement of the property (3 levels) and access to a toilet, the shower and bathroom, may be located on a diferent floor. in any case i will do my best to give you the best accomodation i can.

Breakfast, and dinner will be provided, we eat some meat, but we also starting to eat many varied vegetable based dishes, and of course fish and pasta and pizza

I will give you a Tutorial on Housekeeping of our property and the Housekeeping process for 3 bedrooms, you will become an expert ! servicing guest rooms, changing bedsheets, towels, cleaning bathrooms hoovering and mopping floors, though we do have a super easy cleaning machine to do the hard work,
all protective and safety gear and materials supplied by us, though if you need anything or you have an idea, i love open conversation.

Outside we have a huge Garden backing onto a forest, Deer and forest animals can often be seen, usually on a fortnightly basis this need maintaining, and a great oppurtunity to work outside in the fresh air, we also have a terrace area, outdoor furniture, Jacuzzi used by guests from time to time.

This was my first experience on the platform, and it was amazing! Neal and Marie are incredibly welcoming, and they made me feel at home throughout my stay.

The hotel is in a quiet village, the work is simple, and they always explain clearly what needs to be done.

When the work was done or on my days off, I often went to play football around here and visited some places by bike, bus, or train. I also stayed at the hotel, having good times, nice chats, and playing some guitar and piano.

Thank you very much! I leave with great memories and a lot of gratitude. It was an amazing experience!

Neal and Marie are very kind and make you feel very comfortable. Lending me a bike to visit the train station, zoo etc was amazing and made day trips so much easier. The hotel is in an extremely quiet village and the nearest restaurants are in the town which is about a half hour walk away, so make sure to bring snacks! With my one day off a week, I had a fabulous time exploring the region. The work consists of housekeeping and cleaning, starting at about 9/10 am and I was always finished before 2pm so had the option to go out in the afternoon, if it wasn't too hot! Thanks for the experience!

I stayed here for around three weeks and had a really nice experience. The hosts were welcoming and always checked if I was okay. The work was not difficult, and I was able to practise my English during my stay.

The cat is also very friendly and cute! The house is a bit far from the city, so it can take some time to get around, but if you enjoy a quiet environment, I would recommend this place.

I also had a great stay with Neal and Marie; they both made me feel comfortable and the explanations regarding the tasks were clear and appropriate. I believe that the accommodation issue (the room), being separated from the other areas and without a bathroom, can indeed cause some situations that are a bit 'unusual' and unexpected, but nothing that would prevent having a good journey at the place. The city is calm and great for practicing physical activities such as cycling and running outdoors; in addition, Beauval Zoo is a major attraction. I also loved the experience and I believe it will greatly enhance my soft skills.

My experience here was better than I could've imagined. Since the beginning I received clear information about how to get here and which trains were best. Mairie and Neal were super kind, always making sure I was doing fine and giving clear instructions on the tasks (that were super simple, however quite time consuming) which for me wasn't a problem. I had my own cozy room and bathroom too, which allowed me to have my private space. On my rest day, I had the chance to visit a nearby village by train and its famous Chateau by the river. It was amazing!
